The man, the Patriot and Coach ….. : Stephen keshi



“Stupid man, foolish man, which kine coach be dis guy sef, he should have not played this, he should have used another formation, he should have removed Mikel, he should have removed Yobo, he should have….”

 Lol I don hear tire, biko make una leave our coach alone joo!
Sometimes I wonder when we (Nigerians) will begin to celebrate our own. Coach Stephen Keshi has succeeded in taking our beloved super eagles to the world cup and succeeded in taking them to the round of 16 when Nations like Spain , Portugal , England and other big football nations where flogged like nursery school children out in the group stages.

What has Keshi has done? Simple.… he made me and many other Nigerians believe in the SUPER EAGLES again since 1996 that we won the Olympic cup and 1994 that we made it to the 2nd round of which he and Amokachi where team mates. Nigeria has not performed so well since then, some Nigerians altogether gave up on watching super eagles matches (me inclusive), but since the win in the African cup of Nations, they once more had the faith to go and watch a 90 minutes duration match. Don’t forget there were others before him, Coach Amodu shuaibu, Coach Christian Chukwu and the one and only chief that succeeded in coaching Nigeria @ a world cup outing – Coach Onigbinde. Keshi, in less than 3 years is the 1st Nigerian coach to win the nations cup and take us to the round of 16 @ the world cup. (That alone is a new record!!!)

True , We barely made it out of our group…but check it out, our boys kept improving after every match, it was as if Keshi kept improving on their minds after every game, u could obviously see the improvement from Iran to Bosnia, Argentina and then France.
If u still dey vex, I hear you, may be @ d next world cup, you fit go coach our team, or better still apply for the job of coach for the upcoming nations cup, so you can show us what you got.
Keshi has proven himself as a world class coach (from NAIJA) with a promising future.

Congratulations to our beloved super eagles , keep improving , and get better at what you do, and to our dear coach one love jare , keep moving on, thank you for proving to us that Nigerians have what it takes to produce world class coaches and for making us believe in the super eagles once more…cheers
